| abstract | Methods of improving detection of cancerous lesions in the breast through breast examination are provided. Such methods comprise administering to a patient in need of a breast examination, an androgen, preferably testosterone or a derivative thereof, in an amount sufficient to reduce the palpable breast tissue density or radiographic breast tissue density of the patient. Methods of treating conditions associated with dense breasts in a patient are also provided. Such methods comprise administering, a biologically effective amount of an androgen to a patient in need of the same. In accordance with the present invention, it has been found that administration of testosterone to pre- and post-menopausal women with fibrous or dense breasts results in a decrease in palpable breast density, radiographic density, and the number or size of fibrous breast lesions in these women. |
